Two men arrested in connection with the discovery of a cannabis factory in East Peckham have been released on bail.

A 42-year-old from Gillingham was arrested on suspicion of cultivating the drug and has been bailed, pending further inquiries, until January 23.

A 37-year-old, also from Gillingham, was arrested in connection with drug offences and has been bailed, pending further inquiries, until December 19.

The arrests followed a raid on a building in Bells Farm Road last Monday.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers searched a farm building in Bells Farm Road on Monday, October 27, where it was believed cannabis was being grown.

"A large number of plants, as well as equipment believed to have been used to grow cannabis were seized."

Police were unable to reveal exactly how much of the class B substance was found at the property.
